Повний текст джерелаObjective: Rates of obesity are rising in the U.S. and on a global scale. With this increasing incidence of obesity we are seeing an accompanying rise in the pathologies associated with type II diabetes mellitus (DMII) such as altered insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis. The notion of the adipocyte as a biologically dynamic cell is becoming more prevalent and recent evidence implicates the adipocyte as a key regulator in the onset of the aforementioned pathologies. The aim of this study is to further elucidate how changes in the expression of glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) in adipocytes may alter adipose tissue function and biology, specifically, if and how these alterations may affect downstream metabolic functions such as glucose uptake. Methods: Male and female adipose-specific GLUT4 overexpressor (AG40x) mice along with wild type (WT) littermates were monitored for changes in weight, body fat percentage, glucose tolerance and adipocyte metabolism over a period of 10-18 weeks. Additional cohorts of the transgenic and WT animals were also treated with a high energy diet to exacerbate any potential differences. Results: AG40x animals on a balanced diet showed high glucose clearance rates compared to WT animals; however, the high energy diet impaired glucose clearance for the AG40x animals. Overexpression of GLUT4 in adipose promotes increased weight gain and fat deposition but does not significantly alter adipose tissue composition compared to the WT balanced diet animals. Conclusion: Although overexpression of GLUT4 in adipose tissue appears to bring about undesired effects of weight gain, these animals were protected from adverse weight gain when challenged with a high energy diet. In both transgenic study groups, fat percentages are increased although adipose composition tissue was no significantly altered as seen in WT high-energy diet animals. This may contribute to the improved glucose clearance profiles seen in this particular model suggesting a potential therapeutic target for those who are high risk for DMII.

Повний текст джерелаHuman pregnancy is associated with a mild pro-inflammatory state characterized by activation of circulatory neutrophils (PMNs). Skewing of PMNs responses toward to neutrophil extracellular traps generation (NETs) is reflected in an increased of circulating nucleosomes and myeloperoxidase with advancing gestational age. Our data indicated that this pro-NETotic profile is enhanced in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Maternal hyperglycemia and increased levels of TNF-a are a hallmark of GDM and we show a synergistic effect of both factors on the priming and release of NETs. Moreover, we hypothesized that systemic activation was associated with activated PMN in placenta. Indeed, we observed a massive infiltration of pro-NETotic PMNs and neutrophil elastase (NE) accumulation along chorionic villi of GDM placentas. To further explore whether hyperglycemia predisposes to exaggerated inflammatory response in placenta we incubated trophoblast BeWo cells in high glucose conditions and we next tested the TNF-a production capacity. Interestingly, TNF-a level was incresed and exert a pro-NETotic effect on PMN with consequent NE release. Recent studies in cancer tissues and diabetes models have described that released NE induce profound changes in the surrounding cells, altering the signal transducing cascade and promoting insulin resistance via degradation of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1). Our in-vitro data indicate that addition of NE to trophoblast cell line BeWo causes degradation of IRS1 with consequent glucose uptake impairment. IRS1 is reduced in GDM placentas when compared to control placentas, suggesting that the presence of NE might be the causal factor. Taken together, our data showed that GDM is characterized by excessive NET formation and by a massive influx of pro-NETotic PMN into placentas. These findings underline the competence of NETs as a highly relevant diagnostic biomarker for GDM and NE as a new potential therapeutic target.

Повний текст джерелаIn order to respond to the fossil resources depletion, a particular attention was paid to the use of renewable resources since several years. In this context, many researches focus on the use of polysaccharides such as cellulose. These compounds are attractive because of their abundance, low cost and biodegradability. On the other hand, these polymers suffer from weak mechanical resistance limiting their practical applications. Grafting synthetic polymers chains on these natural polymers is an alternative to this problem. Nevertheless, grafting strategies described in the literature involve certain limitations such as the difficulty of implementation, the toxicity of the used methods, the great number of synthesis steps or the control of molar mass. Moreover, the characterization of these complex architectures remains delicate in order to prove the covalent grafting of chains on the polysaccharide. In line with this research context, the topic of this thesis concerns the development of a robust method for cellulose acetate polymer grafting. Moreover, the selected method has to be easy to implement, with a possible application as a compatibilizer for blending of polystyrene and cellulose acetate. In order to achieve this purpose, our strategy is based on the use of Nitroxide-Mediated Polymerization (NMP) where particular attention was paid to the structural characterization of synthesized materials (solid state NMR, DOSY NMR, ESR, SEC of grafts, DLS and DSC)

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background - Although acute hyperglycemic episodes are linked to lower glucose uptake, underlying mechanisms driving this process remain unclear. We hypothesized that acute hyperglycemia triggers reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and increases non-oxidative glucose pathway (NOGP) activation, i.e. stimulation of advanced glycation end products (AGE), polyol pathway (PP), hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) and protein kinase C (PKC) activation. These mechanisms attenuate cellular function, and may indeed decrease insulin-mediated cardiac glucose uptake. The role of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) under high glucose/diabetic conditions is a subject of contention. Activation of the PPP enzyme transketolase (TK) (by benfotiamine/BFT or thiamine) reduces flux via the other four NOGPs, and is associated with beneficial outcomes. Our aim was therefore to evaluate the effects of acute hyperglycemia on insulin-mediated glucose uptake in a cardiac-derived cell line. Specifically, we aimed to elucidate the role of ROS and NOGP induction under these conditions. Methodology - H9c2 cardiomyoblasts were exposed to 25 mM glucose for 24 hr vs. 5.5 mM glucose controls ± modulating agents during last hour of glucose exposure: a) antioxidant #1 for mitochondrial ROS (250 μM 4-OHCA), b) antioxidant #2 for NADPH oxidase-generated ROS (100 μM DPI), c) NOGP inhibitors – 100 μM aminoguanidine (AGE), 5 μM chelerythrine (PKC); 40 μM DON (HBP); and 10 μM zopolrestat (PP). We also employed BFT (50 and 100 μM) in vitro, while the effects of in vivo thiamine administration were assessed in hearts of an obese/diabetic rat model of pre-diabetes and diabetes, the OLETF strain. We evaluated insulin sensitivity by glucose uptake assay (flow cytometry), GLUT4 translocation (transfection of HA-GLUT4-GFP construct) and protein kinase B (Akt) activity assay. ROS levels (mitochondrial, intracellular) were measured by flow cytometry analysis of specific fluorescent probes. Markers of each NOGP were also assessed. Results - Acute hyperglycemia elevated ROS, activated NOGPs and blunted glucose uptake. However, TK activity (marker of PPP) did not change. Respective 4-OHCA and DPI treatment blunted ROS production, diminished NOGP activation and normalized glucose uptake. NOGP inhibitory studies identified PKCβII as a key downstream player in lowering insulin-mediated glucose uptake. When we employed BFT (known to shunt flux away from NOGPs and into the PPP), it decreased ROS generation and NOGP activation, and restored glucose uptake under acute hyperglycemic conditions. In vivo thiamine administration reduced markers of the other NOGP, while it attenuated (mainly in the pre-diabetic phase) the metabolic dysfunction observed in the OLETF rats. Conclusions - This study demonstrates that acute hyperglycemia elicits a series of maladaptive events that function in tandem to reduce glucose uptake, and that antioxidant treatment and/or attenuation of NOGP activation (PKC, polyol pathway) may limit the onset of insulin resistance.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Agtergrond – Alhoewel akute hiperglisemie voorvalle gekoppel is aan verlaagde glukose opname, is die onderliggende meganismes wat die proses dryf steeds onduidelik. Ons hipotetiseer dat akute hiperglisemie aanleiding gee tot die produksie van reaktiewe suurstofspesies (RSS) en toename in nie-oksidatiewe glukose weg (NOGW) aktivering, i.e. stimulering van gevorderde glukasie eindprodukte (GGE), poliolweg (PW), heksosamien biosintetiese weg (HBW) en proteïenkinase C (PKC) aktivering. Hierdie meganismes verminder sellulêre funksie, en mag inderdaad insulien-bemiddelde kardiêre glukose opname verlaag. Die rol van die pentosefosfaatweg (PFW) onder hoë glukose/diabetiese kondisies is ‘n onderwerp van stryd. Aktivering van die PFW ensiem transketolase (TK) (deur benfotiamien/BFT of tiamien) verminder fluks deur die ander vier NOGWë, en is geassosieer met voordelige uitkomste. Ons doel was dus om die effekte van akute hiperglisemie op insulien-bemiddelde glukose opname te evalueer in ‘n kardiaal-afkomstige sellyn. Meer bepaald het ons gepoog om die rol van RSS en NOGW induksie onder hierdie kondisies te verstaan. Metode – H9c2 kardiomioblaste is aan 25 mM glukose vir 24 h blootgestel vs. 5.5 mM glukose kontroles ± moduleeragente tydens die laaste uur van glukose blootstelling: a) anti-oksidant #1 vir mitochondriese RSS (250 μM 4-OHCA), b) anti-oksidant #2 vir NADPH oksidase-gegenereerde RSS (100 μM DPI), c) NOGW inhibeerders – 100 μM aminoguanidien (GGE), 5 μM cheleritrien (PKC); 40 μM DON (HBW); en 10 μM zopolrestaat (PW). Ons het ook BFT (50 en 100 μM) in vitro aangewend, terwyl die effek van in vivo tiamien aanwending geassesseer is in die harte van ‘n vetsugtige/diabetiese rotmodel van pre-diabetes en diabetes, die OLETF lyn. Ons het insuliensensitiwiteit deur ‘n glukose opname toets (vloeisitometrie), GLUT4 translokasie (transfeksie van HA-GLUT4-GFP konstruk) en proteïenkinase B (Akt) aktiwiteitstoets, geëvalueer. RSS vlakke (mitochondries, intrasellulêr) is gemeet deur vloeisitometriese analise van spesifieke fluoresserende peilers. Merkers van elke NOGW is ook geassesseer. Resultate - Akute hiperglisemie het RSS verhoog, NOGWë geaktiveer en glukose opname versag. TK aktiwiteit (merker van PFW) het egter nie verander nie. Onderskeidelike 4-OHCA en DPI behandeling het RSS produksie versag, NOGW aktivering verminder en glukose opname genormaliseer. NOGW onderdrukking studies het PKCβII geïdentifiseer as ‘n sleutel deelnemer in verlaging van insulien-bemiddelde glukose opname. Die aanwending van BFT (bekend vir die wegvoer van fluks vanaf NOGWë na die PFW), het RSS skepping en NOGW aktivering verlaag, en glukose opname herwin onder akute hiperglisemiese kondisies. In vivo tiamien toediening het merkers van die ander NOGW verlaag, terwyl dit die metaboliese disfunksie waargeneem in die OLETF rotte (hoofsaaklik in die pre-diabetiese fase) verminder het. Gevolgtrekking – Hierdie studie demonstreer dat akute hiperglisemie ‘n reeks van wanaangepaste voorvalle ontlok wat gesamentlik funksioneer om glukose opname te verlaag, en dat anti-oksidant behandeling en/of vermindering van NOGW aktivering (PKC, poliolweg), die aanvang van insulien weerstand mag beperk.

Повний текст джерелаIn addition to their role in the solubilization of dietary lipids, bile acids are signaling molecules regulating their own metabolism, glucose and lipid homeostasis, energy expenditure, cardiovascular function and inflammation via the activation of the Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) and the Takeda G protein coupled Receptor 5 (TGR5). Indeed, changes in bile acid concentrations are associated with metabolic diseases and therefore they are candidates to participate in the pathophysiology of these diseases or predict their progression.In the first part of this thesis, we studied bile acid changes in the context of obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. We demonstrated that bile acids are correlated with glucose homeostasis in humans, but that they are not predictors for the progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes in a longitudinal cohort study.In the second part of this thesis, we studied the bile acids in the context of bariatric surgery. Our results showed that bariatric surgery reduces the hepatic recapture of certain bile acids, causing them to increase in the systemic circulation. Additionally, we showed that it is not the bile limb but the common limb the one responsible for metabolic changes after bariatric surgery in the minipig. Finally, we showed in humans that bile acids linked to high-density lipoproteins (HDL) increase after bariatric surgery, and that this increase is correlated with the restoration of their vasoprotective functions

In diabetic population, more than 65% of death is related to cardiovascular diseases. Reduced myocardial blood flow is commonly observed in diabetic patients without obstructive atherosclerosis. This indicates that microvascular complications, especially the impairment of arteriolar dilation in resistant vessels, are involved in the diabetic vascular dysfunction. Endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) is an important substance released from the endothelium that regulates vasomotor function, but its role in diabetes/hyperglycemia-induced vascular impairment remains unclear. In the coronary circulation, the EDHF pathway is mediated by the cytochrome P450 epoxygenase (CYP) and its derivative epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). The present study aimed at determining the mechanistic effect of high glucose (HG) on EDHF/EET-mediated arteriolar dilation. Porcine coronary arterioles were isolated and pressurized for vasomotor study. Cultured porcine coronary artery endothelial cells (ECs) were used for molecular and biochemical analysis. Bradykinin (BK), a potent vasodilator, was used to generate endothelium-dependent vasodilation before and after high glucose (HG, 25 mM vs. 5 mM in control) treatment. We found that incubation of coronary arterioles with HG impaired vasodilation to BK but not to sodium nitroprusside (endothelium-independent vasodilator). In the presence of potassium channel inhibitor targeting EDHF-mediated vasodilation, the NO component of arteriolar dilation in response to BK was reduced by HG incubation. In the presence of inhibitors of NO synthase and cyclooxygenase, the EDHF-mediated arteriolar dilation was reduced by HG incubation. The inhibitory effect of HG was prevented by treating the vessels with superoxide scavenger Tempol. In cultured coronary artery endothelial cells (ECs), the NO production in response to BK stimulation was reduced by HG. HG also reduced endothelial EET production as well as CYP activity. The superoxide production was elevated in ECs after HG incubation. Pretreatment with superoxide scavenger Tempol before HG incubation abolished the increase of cellular superoxide and prevented the decrease of CYP activity. Collectively, our results suggest that, in addition to the NO-mediated pathway, HG impairs the EET/EDHF-mediated vasodilation in coronary arterioles by inhibiting CYP activity in coronary ECs via elevated level of superoxide. The present study provides further information on the mechanisms of hyperglycemia-induced vascular dysfunction.

Diabetes ranks the fourth leading cause of death in Taiwan, according to the latest report by Ministry of Health and Welfare, and the prevalence is going up. The major cause of diabetes is obesity-induced insulin resistance, which is reduced glucose uptake by peripheral tissues due to compromised sensitivity to insulin as a result of excess lipid accumulation in adipose tissues. Chinese olive is rich in bioactive compounds such as phenolics and flavonoids, and shows anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-oxidative, and anti-proliferative effects. Previous in vivo studies indicate that the ethyl acetate fraction of methanol extract of Chinese olive (COE) ameliorates diabetes. The present study then aims to investigate the underlying mechanism for COE’s anti-diabetic effects using 3T3-L1 mouse adipocytes. Results of glucose uptake test show COE stimulates the uptake of 2-NBDG by mature adipocytes, and such effect is not ablated in the presence of insulin resistance, nor completely abolished by the use of inhibitors for PI3K, GLUT, or AMPK. In addition, treatment of COE can dose-dependently increase transcription of the glucose transporter 1 gene in 3T3-L1. Its regulatory role in AMPK activity in 3T3-L1 is not certain, but it is clear that COE can stimulate the expression of AKT and increase GLUT4 translocation to plasma membrane. Therefore it is postulated that the mechanism behind COE’s stimulatory effect on glucose uptake of adipocytes is different from PI3K and AMPK signaling pathways. Further study is needed to understand the underlying mechanism of how COE increases GLUT1 gene expression and glucose uptake.

Diabetes is the fifth leading cause of death of 2012 in Taiwan. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common form of diabetes, however, the pathological mechanism remains unclear. Insulin resistance, a key etiology of T2DM, has been reported to associate with chronic inflammation and dysregulation of lipid metabolism. In addition to Metformin and Thiazolidinediones, the common interventions for lowering blood glucose in T2DM patients, several phytochemicals have been demonstrated to have function in lowing blood glucose and sensitizing insulin. The mechanisms of known phytochemical mediated insulin sensitizing are largely through the activation of AMPK pathway. In this study, we employed Chinese olive, which is rich in polyphenolic compounds, has been used as medicine in traditional Chinese medical science and shows anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation and anti-proliferation effects. Although Chinese olive is considered as a potential supplementary food for preventing diabetes, however, its molecular mechanism is largely unknown. Here we used L6 myotube as a cell model for measuring glucose uptake, and demonstrated that Chinese olive methanol extract – ethyl acetate partition layer (OE-MeOH-Ea) enhanced 2-NBDG uptake and sensitized the function of insulin. Additionally, OE-MeOH-Ea increases the phosphorylation of AMPK at Thr-172 in L6 myotube. We further investigated the mechanism of AMPK activation upon OE-MeOH-Ea, and found that OE-MeOH-Ea could potentiate mitochondria function, such as increased ATP production, higher mitochondrial membrane potential along with lower NADH amount. We also conclude that the OE-MeOH-Ea mediated glucose uptake is not through GLUT4, the major glucose transporter regulated by insulin in muscle, because the membrane translocation, mRNA expression and protein expression of GLUT4 are not affected after OE-MeOH-Ea treatment. Furthermore LY294002, wortmannin (PI3K inhibitors), cytochalasin B (Class I GLUT inhibitor) failed to suppress OE-MeOH-Ea-enhansed 2-NBDG uptake, indicating other glucose transporter might be involved in regulating glucose uptake. To answer this, we used proteomic analysis to analyze the differential protein expression in plasma membrane among control, OE-MeOH-Ea treated L6 myotube. The results showed that Ca2+ regulation proteins and proteins for adaptation of metabolic stress are increased after OE-MeOH-Ea treatment. In summary, OE-MeOH-Ea promotes mitochondrial function and activates AMPK to enhance glucose uptake through regulating Ca2+ signaling pathway.

Iron nanoparticles are usually used as peroxidase-mimic materials and combined with Glucose oxidase to measure glucose. Glucose oxidase catalyzes glucose to generate H2O2, which in turn is catalyzed by Fe3O4 nanoparticles to produce hydroxyl free radicals as an intermediate. Then, the·OH captures a H+ from the hydrogen donor to catalyze colorimetric reaction and to determine the concentration of glucose. For example, o-Phenylenediamine (OPD) can be oxidized to 2,3-Diaminophenazine by H2O2. In this study, we found that the ferrous ion chelated by Horseradish Peroxidase can catalyze the synthesis of benzimidazole derivates from OPD in the presence of O2 and glucose, which gives strong absorption and fluorescence intensity, as the dual colorimetric and fluorescent sensor of glucose. In order to enhance the stability of catalyst, we prepared the porous Fe3O4 nanospheres composed of small iron nanocrystals and carbon dots via one-pot solvothermal method. Fe3O4 nanoparticles can catalyze OPD and glucose to replace the native HRP enzyme. Organic molecules would form the carbon quantum dots, which capping on the iron nanocrystals, under the high temperature. The interaction between the carbon dots induce self-assembly of the primary iron crystals to form larger and porous nanospheres, followed with the enhancement of catalytic ability. Histidine carbon dots - modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles mimic the heme structure and show comparable activity to naked one. We use ESI to prove the formation of benzimidazole derivative in the presence of glucose and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Therefore, we can catalyze OPD to accelerate the glucose-derivatization by Fe3O4 nanozyme and apply it to the measurement of glucose concentration in human serum.

Macrophage infiltration and activation plays a critical role in the development of tissue inflammation, especially in obesity-associated adipose tissue inflammation. Chemokine RANTES (also known as CCL5) has been reported to promote macrophage infiltration and its receptor CCR5 is associated with macrophage activation, but the detailed mechanism is unclear. The aim of current study is to investigate the role of RANTES signaling in the regulation of macrophage migration and activation through RANTES-mediated glucose uptake. The present result showed that RANTES increased macrophage migration and glucose uptake in a time and dose dependent manner in RAW cell model. Blockade of glucose uptake by 2-DG significantly inhibited RANTES -induced macrophage migration. RANTES could induce membrane GLUT1 expression as well as phosphorylation of AKT on Thr308、Ser473 and AMPK on Thr172 in RAW cells, but the phosphorylation of p65-NF-κB and ERK was unchanged during the observed period. In addition, inhibition of PI3K、 AMPK and PLC could significantly suppress RANTES-induced macrophage migration and glucose uptake. We also demonstrated that blockade of CCR1 and CCR5 but not CCR3 could inhibit RANTES -induced macrophage glucose uptake and also suppress RANTES -induced macrophage migration. Moreover, Inhibition of PLC and CCR5 could decrease the ability of macrophage migration and glucose uptake in a dose-dependent manner and decrease the phosphorylation of AKT on Thr308、Ser473 and AMPK on Thr172. In THP-1 macrophage cell line, RANTES could increase glucose uptake in M0、M1 and M2 type macrophage. Inhibition of PI3K、AMPK and CCR5 could suppress RANTES-induced macrophage glucose uptake. In respect of macrophage activation, there was not changed in the gene expression of TNF-α、IL-6 and CD206, but IL-10 gene expression was significantly increased after adding RANTES. Besides, the secretion of IL-6 which is M1 type marker was unchanged in treated RANTES group compared to untreated RANTES control. Taken together, the present findings indicate that RANTES could be via CCR5 receptor to activate PLC signaling to increase phosphorylation of PI3K and AMPK thus increase GLUT1 membrane expression. As a result, macrophage glucose uptake was increased and then regulated macrophage migration. However, RANTES didn’t affect the process of macrophage activation.

According to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, stroke is the third leading causes of death in Taiwan in 2015. Stroke is also one of the most common cardiovascular disease worldwide. More than 80% of stroke patients belong to the ischemic stroke type. It’s defined as the disturbance in the blood supply to the brain, and it causes the neuron damage and brain dysfunction quickly. Recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is the only approved therapy for acute ischemic stroke. However, due to the short effective time window and hemorrhage side effect, the treatment for ischemic stroke needs further developments. YII is one of the key active components isolated from the protective herbal medicine based on our previous study. YII showed good neuroprotective effect in middle cerebral artery occlusion model (MCAO), but the neuroprotective mechanism of YII is still unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective effect of YII and its underlying mechanisms of action by using an in vitro ischemic stroke model by inducing oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) in Neuro-2a cells. The result showed that YII (20 μM) inhibited OGD-caused neural apoptosis by flow cytometry. The mechanisms of action in mediating YII’s neuroprotective effect was also elucidated by Western blotting. The protein expression levels of pS473Akt, pS9GSK3 and cleaved caspase 3 were significant decreased at 15 min, 60 min and 45-60 min after OGD, respectively. Bcl-2 was significant increased at 45 min after OGD. YII promoted the protein expression levels of pAkt, pSGSK3 and p35/Cdk5, which in turn may upregulate Bcl-2 and downregulate p25/Cdk5. Besides, YII might activate glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) and regulated downstream signaling pathway cAMP/PKA/CREB, which could be shown by cotreatment of YII with GLP-1R activator exendin-4 or GLP-1R inhibitor exendin-9. Finally, YII decreased the expression levels of caspase 3 in OGD model by immunofluorescence, but there was no difference in the change of an autophage marker LC3B. In conclusion, we propose that the neuroprotective effect of YII is most possibly involved GLP-1R signaling via modulation of PI3K/Akt/GSK3/p35Cdk5 and cAMP/PKA/CREB/Bcl-2 signaling pathways to protect neuronal cells against OGD-mediate cell injury.

Ginseng, an important traditional Chinese herb medicine, is widely used for a variety of distresses with no apparent adverse effects for long term usage. Despite a highly valued traditional medicine, its mechanism of action remains to be elucidated. One prominent physiological property of ginseng is its hypoglycemic activity. In our previous studies, we found that the purified ginsenoside Compound K (a main intestinal metabolite of the protopanaxadiol gisenoside Rb1) and protopanaxatriol ginsenoside Rg1 enhanced and inhibited the steady- state glucose uptake, respectively, in the differentiated human intestinal Caco-2 cells. Because the main apical transporter for active glucose uptake in small intestinal epithelial cells is the sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter (SGLT) -1, we investigated the effect of Compound K and Rg1 on the expression of SGLT-1 gene. Using western blot analysis and semi-quantitative RT-PCR, we demonstrated that the observed effects of Compound K and Rg1 on the rate glucose transport were mainly due to increased or decreased SGLT-1 protein and mRNA expression levels. In order to understand the molecular mechanism underlying the Compound K- and Rg1- mediated induction and inhibition of SGLT-1 gene expression, a series SGLT-1 promoter fragments were inserted into luciferase reporter. Transient transfection analysis demonstrated that Compound K and Rg1 conferred a specific induction and inhibition, respectively, of the SGLT-1 promoter activity through the region -169/-83. Chromation immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay was used to evaluate the association of transcription factors bind to specific DNA motifs within this region. Our results suggest that the CREB binding protion (CBP) is responsible for the differential effects of ginsenosides Compound K and Rg1 on SGLT-1 gene expression.

Background: Hyperglycemia-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation contributes to development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a redox-sensing transcription factor, induces the antioxidant enzyme expressions. Diallyl trisulfide (DATS) is the most powerful antioxidant among the sulfur-containing compounds in garlic oil. We investigated whether DATS inhibits hyperglycemia-induced ROS production via Nrf2-mediated activation of antioxidant enzymes in cardiac cells exposed to high glucose (HG). Methods and results: Treatment of H9c2 cells with HG resulted in an increase in intracellular ROS level and caspase-3 activity, which were markedly reduced by the administration of DATS (10 μM). DATS treatment significantly increased Nrf2 protein stability and nuclear translocation, upregulated downstream gene HO-1, and suppressed its repressor Keap1. However, apoptosis was not inhibited by DATS in cells transfected with Nrf2-specific siRNA. Inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling by LY294002 (PI3K inhibitor) or PI3K-specific siRNA not only decreased the level of DATS-induced Nrf2-mediated HO-1 expression, but also diminished the protective effects of DATS. Similar results were also observed in high glucoseexposed neonatal primary cardiomyocytes and streptozotocin-treated diabetic rats fed DATS at a dose of 40 mg/kg BW. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that DATS protects against hyperglycemia-induced ROS-mediated apoptosis by upregulating the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 pathway, which further activates Nrf2- regulated antioxidant enzymes in cardiomyocytes exposed to HG

The pure compounds isolated from the fruit or other parts of Chinese olive (Canarium album L.) have been proven to have many physiological functions such as liver protection, and anti-oxidation. However, little is known about the effects of Chinese olive extracts on cancer cells. Previous research in our lab indicates that the ethyl acetate fraction of ethanol extract of Chinese olive water extract residue (COE) exhibits anti-tumor effect in both cell and animal models. In the early stage of tumor formation, cancer cells rapidly proliferate, thus makes the inner cancer cells lack the supply of oxygen and glucose. Therefore, this study intends to investigate the anti-tumor effect of COE in either high or low glucose. We have treated HCT116 cells with different concentration of COE at different glucose concentrations, and examined the efficacy of COE on cell viability, colony formation, and migration. We found that COE at effectively inhibit HCT116 cell growth in high glucose. However, in low glucose, the inhibitory effect is rather poor. Also, in clonogenic assay, less inhibitory effect of COE in low glucose was observed. Furthermore, in low glucose, COE could further activate AMPK and the consequent inactivation of ACC as well as the enhancement of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) related genes. This phenomenon was less significant in high glucose, which caused opposite growth effects in different glucose levels upon COE treatment. COE dose exceeds 400 μg/ml would damage mitochondrial and leads to apoptosis, which can no longer rescue cells by the additional function of COE on increasing FAO mediated energy production. Although more and more studies point out that phytochemicals have the potential to inhibit cancer cells, here the results suggested that the opposite effects upon different concentration of glucose should be considered before using phytochemicals for cancer therapy.

Повний текст джерелаThis PhD thesis relates to the construction issue of electrochemical sensors for mediated detection of medically important biomolecules. This thesis has a classic layout, and it is divided into two main parts: theoretical and experimental. The theoretical part consists of seven chapters and begins with a justification of the subject of the dissertation and specification of research objectives. The following chapters describe selected biomolecules with emphasis on proteins: ceruloplasmin, C-reactive protein, and sugars: glucose. Due to the fact that this dissertation concerns the mediated detection of selected proteins and sugars, the literature also presents important issues related to the electroactivity of biomolecules and types of electron transport between the biomolecule and the electrode surface. Much attention was also paid to the commercial methods of selected proteins and sugars analysis, emphasizing the role of nanomaterials in the construction of bioplatforms for sensors. This PhD thesis describes mediated electron transport sensors for the detection of ceruloplasmin, C-reactive protein, and glucose using newly synthesized ferrocene conjugates. The functionality of the proposed diagnostic devices was checked on real samples such as blood plasma or soft drinks. In the preparation of the analytically active layer for mediated detection of ceruloplasmin, a conjugate (magnetic nanoparticle with an iron core)-ferrocene was used. The paramagnetic properties of ceruloplasmin and the applied receptor system allowed of measurements in the presence of an external magnetic field source, which significantly improved the sensor's analytical parameters such as selectivity, sensor lifetime, and enabled an exceptionally low level of detection in real samples. The usage of redox probe occlusion phenomenon between protein molecules immobilized on the electrode surface due to the specific interaction of antigen-antibody enabled a voltammetric detection of non-electroactive CRP protein, a biomarker of inflammation. Another device presented in the dissertation was a sensor monitoring discrete changes of glucose concentration, which enables the early diagnostics of many diseases, as well as control of sugar levels in technological processes, e.g. fermentation. In this case, two different approaches were chosen, using reduced graphene oxide doped with various ferrocene derivatives and polymer derivatives of phenylboronic acid as receptors. Second generation biosensors were constructed using newly synthesized rGO-Fc receptors and glucose oxidase. Based on the conducted research, it was proved that the method of ferrocene introducing to the surface of rGO, as well as the functionalization of the redox probe with carboxyl groups allowed to minimize the amount of enzyme in the receptor layer while maintaining its maximum activity. The proposed sensors for amperometric determination of glucose enable the detection of this sugar at a very low level. Research on the rGO-ferrocene conjugate concerned not only the analytical aspects but also defining the effect of ferrocene presence on the structure of rGO and the orientation of ferrocene molecules relative to graphene. These elements are an important contribution to understanding the operation of the sensor. The approach using polymeric phenylboronic acid derivatives enabled the detection of glucose in the presence of fructose. The glucose recognition process was based on the difference between the affinity of the phenylboronic acid derivatives for glucose and the redox probe. According to recent knowledge, this method of glucose determination has been demonstrated for the first time. In addition, the sensor is characterized by high sensitivity, selectivity, low detection limit, and ease of its construction. The results presented in this dissertation have become the basis for scientific publications in international journals with a very high impact factor (IF), Biosensors & Bioelectronics.

Повний текст джерелаIn response to glucose, pancreatic islet beta cells secrete insulin in a biphasic manner, and both phases are diminished in type 2 diabetes. In beta cells, cortical F-actin beneath the plasma membrane (PM) prevents insulin granule access to the PM and glucose stimulates remodeling of this cortical F-actin to allow trafficking of insulin granules to the PM. Glucose stimulation activates the small GTPase Cdc42, which then activates p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1); both Cdc42 and PAK1 are required for insulin secretion. In conjunction with Cdc42-PAK1 signaling, the SNARE protein Syntaxin 4 dissociates from F-actin to allow SNARE complex formation and insulin exocytosis. My central hypothesis is that, in the pancreatic beta cell, glucose signals through a Cdc42-PAK1-mediated pathway to remodel the F-actin cytoskeleton to mobilize insulin granules to SNARE docking sites at the PM to evoke glucose stimulated second phase insulin secretion. To investigate this, PAK1 was inhibited in MIN6 beta cells with IPA3 followed by live-cell imaging of F-actin remodeling using the F-actin probe, Lifeact-GFP. PAK1 inhibition prevented normal glucose-induced F-actin remodeling. PAK1 inhibition also prevented insulin granule accumulation at the PM in response to glucose. The ERK pathway was implicated, as glucose-stimulated ERK activation was decreased under PAK1-depleted conditions. Further study showed that inhibition of ERK impaired insulin secretion and cortical F-actin remodeling. One of the final steps of insulin secretion is the fusion of insulin granules with the PM which is facilitated by the SNARE proteins Syntaxin 4 on the PM and VAMP2 on the insulin granule. PAK1 activation was also found to be critical for Syntaxin 4-F-actin complex dynamics in beta cells, linking the Cdc42-PAK1 signaling pathway to SNARE-mediated exocytosis. Syntaxin 4 interacts with the F-actin severing protein Gelsolin, and in response to glucose Gelsolin dissociates from Syntaxin 4 in a calcium-dependent manner to allow Syntaxin 4 activation. Disrupting the interaction between Syntaxin 4 and Gelsolin aberrantly activates endogenous Syntaxin 4, elevating basal insulin secretion. Taken together, these results illustrate that signaling to F-actin remodeling is important for insulin secretion and that F-actin and its binding proteins can impact the final steps of insulin secretion.
